Slavery still exists in the USA

Tweet

American slavery was technically abolished in 1865, but a loophole in the 13th Amendment has allowed it to continue “as a punishment for crimes” well into the 21st century. Not surprisingly, corporations have lobbied for a broader and broader definition of “crime” in the last 150 years. As a result, there are more (mostly dark-skinned) people performing mandatory, essentially unpaid, hard labor in America today. 2.4 million potential slaves are made available to the owners of the country: Bank of America Bayer Cargill Caterpillar Chevron Chrysler Costco John Deere Eli Lilly and Company Exxon Mobil GlaxoSmithKline Johnson and Johnson K-Mart Koch Industries McDonald’s Merck Microsoft Motorola Nintendo Pfizer Procter & Gamble Pepsi ConAgra Foods Shell Starbucks UPS Verizon WalMart Wendy’s Slavery still exists in this country. The real trick was to create a pool of involuntary participants while hiding it from a public that could not recognize it happening. The more the owners hoard money, the more the common people fight over the scraps they drop from the table....and the more desperate we get, the more likely we will commit crimes. Also, making our actions criminalized and taking away our freedoms will lead us to careers in prison ......and then the owners can go back to owning plantations.
